Abstract
THIS is an elementary treatise of exceptional merit, combining thoroughly practical work with sound theoretical conclusions. The course of instruction which it comprises has been found suitable by the author, in his capacity as instructor at Eton College, for boys who already have some acquaintance with physiography and elementary dynamics. Mathematical expressions are accordingly used as little as possible, and, when used at all, they are fully explained in ordinary language.
Heat.
By H. G. Madan (London: Rivingtons, 1889.)
